The memorial was designed by the Danish-Norwegian artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset and was inaugurated on May 27th 2008. The 3.60-meter high and 1.90-meter wide concrete cube stands on the edge of the Tiergarten. Through an imbedded window, one can watch a short film with two men kissing each other. Situated at the memorial is a commemorative tablet in German and English language, which also commemorates the persecution of homosexual people in the German Federal Republic and the DDR.
